Interested in screen but intimidated by the process? In this workshop, you'll receive an intensive introduction to emulsion-based silkscreen and demystify the practice so you can do it at home. Learn what you need to know about the basic set-up and supplies, coating and exposing screens, as well as pulling a basic one-layer print. All supplies, including screens to use in class are provided. Students can bring their own drawings ready to expose, or use provided templates to just get the hang of the process. Drawings should not have an image size bigger than 7" x 10" and should be black and white only, no tones or shadows.
Perfect for beginners or printmakers who need a refresher. Suitable for older teens and adults.

Relief Print Collage is a 4 week course facilitated by artist Maureen Da Silva where students will learn and refine carving techniques in relief printmaking, and work to create up to two types of collages, inspired by still-life objects. Students will consider two approaches to collage composition, using blocks developed in the first session. They will use professional grade ink for printing, and spend time working on both modular and organic designs. Paper as a material will also be closely explored for the impact it has on the artmaking process, with an emphasis on joyful composition.

Maureen will be at the AboveGround Back to School event for OCADU students on Tuesday, September 5th, on behalf of Speedball. Stop by and say hello!
